Edit PDFs with highlights and markups
It’s easy to make quick adjustments without having to jump to another app by editing PDFs directly in Dropbox, and now this functionality is getting more powerful. The addition of highlighting and freeform drawing tools let you bring people’s attention to exactly where you need it. Highlight specific sections, add comments, or call out changes that need to be made, all right from Dropbox. These new editing capabilities, along with existing ones like page rearrangement and rotation, are available when previewing PDFs on dropbox.com.
Dropbox Backup levels up
Now you’ve got more control and flexibility over backups, so you can fine-tune them to your needs.
- Back up more folders. Select any folder within your computer’s home folder to back up, including subfolders. You’re no longer limited to folders like Documents, Desktop, and Downloads.
- Schedule your backups. Choose when your device backups run, and get flexibility by putting them on your timeline.
- View progress of your backups. Check the percentage of your backup progress to get see how much longer you have until they’re complete.

Give your business a professional look with the branding center
Now you can present your unique brand on all your shares. Our all-new branding center lets you customize how you appear to clients by adding your name, logo, backgrounds, and website/social links. All these branding elements will appear across files shared with links, delivered via Dropbox Transfer, or collected with file requests, for consistent visual identity and info across our collaboration features.
The branding center gives you the professional polish you need, and recipients confidence they’re visiting trusted links. You can preview how clients and collaborators will see your branding during setup, and you can choose when and where your info and visuals will appear. The branding center is available to all Dropbox Professional subscribers.
Dropbox Capture captures improvements
We’ve added two new features to Capture to give your recordings more polish and better collaboration:
- Filler word removal. While “um”s and “uh”s might slip out in casual conversation, on video, they sound unprofessional. So we’ve added the ability to easily remove them from your Capture recordings at the click of a button.
- Teams support. Capture now features a new space to organize your team’s screenshots and screen recordings in one place. Teams support allows everyone to share, comment, and collaborate together—replacing extra meetings and messages throughout the day.
New Dropbox Passwords features
Our three newest improvements to Passwords make it easier to use and add another layer of protection to your accounts, passwords, and payment cards.
First up is our new and improved browser extension. Now you can easily take action with your logins right from your browser’s toolbar:
- Easily search accounts and even see suggested logins based on the website you’re on
- Quickly copy and paste your username, passwords, and 2FA codes
- Edit account details and add new items without jumping to a new tab, making updating passwords even easier
- Quickly lock the extension to ensure no one but you can access your passwords when working on a shared computer
Next, we’ve added support for two-factor authentication for websites that offer it. This gives you an additional layer of protection and helps prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.
And finally, we’ve released a Passwords app optimized for iPadOS. You’ll get a full-screen experience, and the ability to multitask Passwords with other apps.
Get the (search) results you want
We’ve updated our search results page to help you find the content you’re looking for faster. Now when you search for files on dropbox.com, you’ll see larger thumbnails, bolder file names, and relative dates for the “Last modified” column in list view. And when the majority of search results have thumbnails, we’ll default to grid view for easier, more visual scanning.
Camera uploads and viewed links come home
Now when you open up the Dropbox app for iOS, you’ll see two new sections on the Home tab: camera uploads and viewed links. At a glance, you’ll be able to see the latest photos and videos automatically backed up from your phone and links you’ve visited recently.
Videos get an upgrade on our mobile app
We’ve added a slew of enhancements to make working with video files on the Dropbox mobile app more powerful.
You’ll notice faster loading for videos and less buffering mid-stream.
Plus, the preview duration limit has been increased, so you and recipients can see more of the videos without having to download entire files. You can also preview videos with larger file sizes, take advantage of fast forward and rewind controls.
We’ve also added controls for skipping, repeating, and playback speed for video and audio. Plus, there are new scrubbing features to help you quickly locate a specific point in your files.
And to top it off, you can now stream your files from the Dropbox mobile app for iOS via AirPlay. Whether it’s a recorded presentation, home movie, or sound clip, playing back video and audio on supported TVs, streaming boxes, and other devices is easy.

Android users, scan away
Multi-page document scanning on Android is now easier than ever. Scan a new doc, and you can quickly edit, delete and arrange pages. We’ve also made it easier to add pages and retake scans.
There’s also an updated editing screen, where you can adjust corners, rotate images, or update filters.
